Should you replace it?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Refinishing it in white turns it white without taking anything out. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Butterwick
We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. A full suite is normally done in one to two days. We work on coloured shower trays, coloured basins and whole bathroom suites, and common reasons people contact us are selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How we price coloured bath resurfacing
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Butterwick. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
- Coloured basins
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites

- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the day after.
